Question: how does the change event get triggered?

[alessioalex]

Hey @latentflip I was just wondering how does the change event get triggered for the domthing example? I'm having a hard time understanding this. I've looked at ampersand-state but I'm either too tired or the change is not being triggered there. Thank you.

Thanks guys.

The confusing thing to me is that you are not using .set() to update the value, so I'm guessing you are probably using Object.defineProperty() with custom setters somewhere..?

Ah nevermind: https://github.com/AmpersandJS/ampersand-state/blob/master/ampersand-state.js#L560

My bad 👍

@alessioalex heads up that the future of domthing looks tentative :) it's probably unlikely it'll make a full production-quality release if I'm honest, as combining react + ampersand has probably a stronger future than I can support with domthing. But, feel free to play with it :)

To be honest I'm not too fond of React. I dislike JSX and writing all my template code in JavaScript. domthing might not be React, but it's simple and gets the job done.

I think the only thing I would change is making it render stuff with setImmediate or something, in case there are other changes in the same event loop tick: https://github.com/AmpersandJS/ampersand-domthing-mixin/blob/master/index.js#L8-L14

TL;DR Love the simplicity of Ampersand with this module, dislike React inliny templates.

@latentflip btw, are there any Ampersand with React examples? Would like to replicate an example with domthing.

@alessioalex this already happens, it just happens within domthing. Renders are queued until the next requestAnimationFrame fires: https://github.com/latentflip/domthing/blob/master/lib/runtime/template.js#L35-L38

@latentflip thank you for your prompt feedback, really appreciate it. Well I guess this module is just perfect for some use cases then :D I'll go along and play with it :)
